Flamorgan ...I toally accept what you say and it is another part of the answer to the WHY as posed in the presentation...thank you for your contribution....Pat
Thank You Pat for your generous comments on my short piece on the Famine, I was disappointed that when I uploaded the piece it got a big black border around and about it. 'Full Screen' it does not look anything like the original production. I took me ten years to create as I had to go to 'Matlock in Derby to do the train secquence. The reprise section is a comment on some members of my own family ; A sort of sub plot if you wish while using the IFSC Monument as a centre point.
My parents were from Cruit Island - Donegal. From the research I've done so far It looks like most of my family stayed in and around that area. I assume during the famine that was where they were. I can remember visiting every summer over the 1950's / 60's and it was subsistence farming then so what it would be like in the mid 1800's tells me I come from hardy stock. Regards Celia
@MsCelia50 Hi Celia .....there is a repot of the great famine reproduced with permission of the
"Donegal historical society" on the effect of the famine in the Rosses area particularly in relation to the islands, ....Hope it is of some help to you in your search.......all the best Pat
I'm compiling my family tree at the moment and it struck me when I came across my great great grandmother who was 84 in 1901 that she would somehow have survived the famine. This was certainly a life not for the feint hearted. Celia
It must not be forgotten that this was a British disaster, Ireland was as much a part of the United Kingdom as was Wales or Surrey...............had Ireland been independent then the disaster would not have happened.
The great starvation refers to failure of the potato crop which was diseased by potato blight as the potato was the staple diet of native Irish, most of whom lived in dire poverty and coud afford no other means of sustenance.While the ascendancy classes, landlords, and their middlemen were exporting their abundant crops as the Irish starved
This truly was a FAMINE for the poor of Ireland Thanks for your interest, all the bestPat, Tiddlethepipes.
Hi Fasteddie thanks for your comment, I was aware of the help given by the Chotaw Indians, I intend to post a vid. here in time dealing with the great help
very informative well done ,there was no mention of the help the Choctaw Indians in the u.s.a. sent across to Ireland,and these people were supposed to be savages.
good help us :(...............

Hi there,
I'm compiling my family tree at the moment and it struck me when I came across my great great grandmother who was 84 in 1901 that she would somehow have survived the famine. This was certainly a life not for the feint hearted. Celia

Hi Celia....Thank you for your interest in my video....It would seem that your great grandmother was one of the
lucky and obviously plucky people who survived those terrible times.....What part of Ireland did your great
grandmother hail from?......All the best, Pat

The potato blight struck in 1845 - not 1841.Your lack of accuracy is insulting to the memory of the famine victims.

Amazing that in 4:15 mins you have mamaged to convey the horror of the times and the plight of the native irish.
I THINK BY NOW WE KNOW WHY!!!!
tipp1959 2 years ago
Thank you Tipp for the comment , 4m15s only gives an oversight but it does allow
enough time to tell of the horror that was the famine...and if history recounts this
horrific and sad era truthfully...then the answer will come before the question.
all the best from Dublin , Pat.
